The all-new Skate Classics collection has been completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, equipped with features to help enable maximum progression. Vans improved DURACAP™ underlays, two-part foxing tape, and updated uppers provide extra toughness to withstand daily skateboarding and more board control with the molded heel counter and internal tongue straps. To ensure superior cushioning and impact protection, POPCUSH™ energy return sockliners have also been added, along with SICKSTICK™ rubber compound for more grip and boardfeel. Plus, the 6 oz and 10 oz canvas upper and the iconic checkerboard flag guarantee superior style and skate performance.
